Personally, I started out with contributing to projects I currently use, whenever I found an unmet need. This will look different for everyone - what languages/frameworks are you currently using?
I do this from time to time as well, but with quite small projects where I need a hotfix or some simple feature to be quickly added, but I've never done it for big projects.
I'm currently focusing all my resources on Flutter and Dart, both at work and on my free time. I'm also quite experienced in JS, TS, and anything web. I've also done quite a bit of Java over the years.

Have you tried looking into Flutter itself? That ecosystem is moving quickly, and they do use a good first contribution label.
Interesting, I have not actually. I'll check it out, that might be a good starting grounds
